Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogenous wastes which are removed by the kidneys are urea and ammonia. Urea is the main excretory product that is filtered and excreted out from the blood by the kidneys. Ammonia is mostly converted into urea in the liver and excreted out in the urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urea is the major byproduct of ammonia metabolism in vertebrate animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Urea is filtered across the glomerulus and enters the proximal tubule. The concentration of urea in the ultrafiltrate is similar to plasma, so the amount of urea entering the proximal tubule is controlled by the GFR.
